Emma turns 8 (on right)

Gluten Free Chocolate Yellow Daisy Cake

Yesterday Emma turned 8 years old.

She has always been my sunshine.

Ever since she was born, she’s the one that wants to smile.

She wants to laugh.

She sees the cup as half full.

She’s sensitive and kind.

She has a beautiful soul that emanates kindness and compassion.

She’s perceptive beyond her years.

And possesses stubborn streak that few get the privilege of meeting.

And on March 29, she turned eight!!

I have about 5 Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipes in my recipe binder that I’ve tried to edit into gluten free goodness.  Frankly I just didn’t think that any gluten free recipe would be as good as MINE.  But alas, I have’t quite perfected that elusive chewy and crisp on the outside Oatmeal Raisin Cookie.  And after several flopped batches, I loose my motivation to keep wasting expensive gluten free oats!  Today Mike isn’t feeling well, and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are his favorite, so I gave in, and searched for a GF recipe.  I’ve actually tried a couple GF oatmeal raising cookie recipes from my cookbooks but I haven’t had any that are truly blog-worthy.

UNTIL NOW

Here’s the recipe from Girl Cooks World, modified to use margarine instead of butter & shortening.

 

ENJOY!
